Hyundai Xcent vs Honda Amaze vs Maruti Swift Dzire: Specs comparison

Compact sedans constitute a major share of mid-size saloon sales in India and the 2014 Auto Expo hinted us that the scenario is gonna get bigger and better. With Hyundai Xcent untethered and Tata Zest, Ford Figo Sedan awaiting to be unleashed, the battle between sub 4 metre sedans will continue to grow tighter.

The newly launched Hyundai Grand i10 based Xcent compact sedan is priced aggressively. It offers promising specs and features. It goes head on in the sub 4 metre compact sedan segment against class leading Maruti Swift based Dzire and Honda Brio based Amaze. Check out the spec comparison sheet below:

Among petrol variants of the trio, Xcent seems to have a marginal edge over the other two in terms of max torque with least peak power whereas the Amaze sweeps the competition with its bigger and more powerful diesel engine.

Hyundai Xcent has the biggest boot and fuel tank in the segment but cabin space is not as welcoming as Amaze or Dzire. In terms of price, the Xcent is easier on the pocket as for both petrol and diesel variants.
